I had everything working great in my car avic Z2 and all the bells and whistles were great. When car lights come on radio goes to night mode. In settings it is set for AUTOMATIC> (Other option is Day Mode).

 

I removed the unit (Unplugged rear connectors to test a repair job on my other Z2. After all checked out, I put the regular unit back in. Everything is working, except night mode. It is weird. The setting is on Auto but when lights come on it stays bright. No wires pulled. Everything is connected.

 

The car is a 2006 Dodge Charger. The installer said it gets the signal on the lights from the car bus, not a direct wire. Anyone know how to sync this up again?
